It'd be a lot of work (as usual), but should uniform be disambiguated? It covers everything from maid_uniform to military_uniform, and I'm not sure if those actually much in common... Maybe those should be sorted out and kept separate.

uniform looks to me like a catch-all tag, there's a whole bunch of pending implications to it. I'm not really too sure of the usefulness of this tag, but I see that there's 12 pages of posts that should be tagged clothing here and thought an implication would solve that quickly.

It seems like the kind of tag that isn't of much use by itself. If someone's looking for uniforms, I expect that they're looking for some specific type of uniforms. Instead of a mix of military, school, maid etc uniforms.

Even if it were aliased to uniform_(disambiguation), I don't see why it couldn't be implicated to clothing..

I've Approved most of those for now. We can always move them later.

Remember that tags are also used to help keep track of other tags. clothing isn't very useful by itself, but as a tag group it gives us a nice scaffold to work off of.

This is just a thought, but I wonder if aliasing these to something like tag_group:clothing might help emphisize their purpose a bit more.

At least various pieces of clothing have something in common. But what do maid_uniform, military_uniform and sailor_uniform have in common, besides being clothing? The name. That seems like an arbitrary way to group those.

I went ahead and Approved the implication since it seems to be true in all cases that I could find. For now we'll treat it as a valid tag.

Uniform fetishes are pretty common, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those weren't limited to just one type.
